blogger pitch... in the post

I'm wondering who else from the media blogosphere got a similar package to me this week (in addition to Ian and Neville)? On Monday I got a very cryptic and little bit scary package - a photocopy of some kind of message but with details censored and with too little info left on it to decipher what it meant. And a pay as you go sim card. Here are some pics of what I got.

What happened next involved some cryptic emails and wap texts. Very cool and slick. Anyone else get sent this too?

I got one last weekend. It looks like it's some kind of game. Not explored it fully yet. The O2 SIM card that came with it had zero credit so you need to buy 10 quid's worth to get going. An interesting way of pitching!

(b) The SIM did nothing. Bah! (Yes, it may have done something later, Drew, but unlike some, I have one mobile.)

(c) Next day. Eagerly awaiting new postal item. Nothing... Bah!

(d) Oh - found email in my spam bin which led me to dig through a 'secret site'. That was fun and I found the MP3. They kind of spoiled it by naming it 'Crysis - Final Marketing Spodcast - approved' or similar. Bah!
